'Alan Wake' Developers Talk 'LOST,' Stephen King And 'Silent Hill'

"I've seen Alan Wake at a few preview events over the years, and it's definitely unique. It's clear the developers are trying to take the feel of a network TV thriller and bring it into the game space. Because of their goals, I was curious what the driving inspirations were for the game. Sam Lake, the lead writer of Alan Wake, talked with me about his specific inspirations for the story."
